  This is the story of a runaway

  With no way home and no way out

  I threw the best of me away

  I had my chance, it’s too late now

  Too far gone and too ashamed

  To think that You’d still know my name

  But love refused to let my story end that way 

  You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You

  I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to

  You came running after me

  When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst

  Love moved first

  Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh 

  What kind of grace, relentless grace

  Would chase this rebel down

  Crawl into this prisoner’s cage

  Take my hand and pull me out

  You knew I couldn’t make the change

  So You became the change in me

  And now I live to tell the story

  Of the God who rescues 

  You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You

  I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to

  You came running after me

  When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst

  Love moved first 

  From the throne to the manger

  From a manger to the grave

  Your cross is the proof

  Love made the first move

  From a grave meant to keep You

  To a stone rolled away

  Your cross is the proof

  Love made the first move

  I remember where You found me

  I’m amazed by where I stand

  Your cross is the proof

  That love made the first move 

  You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You

  I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to

  You came running after me

  When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst

  Love moved first

  Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh

  Love moved first
